Ive never had any issues with Qlab in a show (and I havent used millumin in one, only on research/development/testing things but never had any performance issues running on a fairly low spec mac pro) and the Qlab support is great as they are a considerably bigger company, also should you ever need an extra machine you can hire a license super cheaply for 3 dollars a day! Playback for both has been fine for me on a Mac Mini running a dual head doing a similar thing to what your describing with no issues playing multiple HD clips and crossfading into others. I haven't had a chance to properly use the edge blending on Qlab3 but the controls look good and its not something you can go too wrong with.

MILLUMIN GRAPHICS SOFTWARE

Qlab is made for straight theatre shows (largely) and sounds as though it would be much more suited to the kind of thing your doing (its similar to playback pro, which is used widely for conferences, but has recently gained more features such as keystone etc.) Millumin is more of a VJ software largely aimed at video mapping not just creating a screen which you want to reliably playback the same thing on over and over. I'd say cueing wise Qlab is significantly better than Millumin. Sounds as though Qlab would be more ideal for your situation, with which you have the option of going for separate outputs per projector/control screen (which I would definitely recommend if you can, it will also work over multiple graphics cards) three outputs to drive the projectors and one to drive the operators screen? I think my images will be about 768x2900 pixels so not real high resolution and mainly 30fps video.ДЄlso for control/operators screen, do I run a dual output video card in the computer and run one output to the operators screen and the other to drive the video splitter? If this is right do these software packages have the ability to asign the program output to a specific output on the video card or do I have to drag a 'window' over and position it in the extended desktop space?ДЄs well I am thinking of using Matrox THTG or a Datapath x4 to split the signals to projectors.but would it be just as easy to run something like an AMF Eyefinity video card with four outputs. Is the edge blending in one better than the other? How stable are they in critical playback situations, are there lock ups, crashes, latency issues? How is the playlist cueing, can they play clip to clip seamlessly? How hard are they on computer resources? Both these software solutions are Mac based and offer integrated edge blending, mapping for screen alignments and playlist/timeline playback cueing but I cant really figure out how either really performs. We already have the screen and projectors but need to purchase all the playback gear. Projected content will mainly be preproduced video clips, sometimes many in quick succession, all with audio.

The system will be portable and mainly used for awards and corporate events. We are looking at edge blending three Christie LX605 XGA projectors into one wide screen about 10 metres wide. I am trying to compare QLab and Millunim for a project we are designing now for delivery in a month and a half. Wondering if any experienced users would share their comments.
